the evening to receive greetings of the
country people who seemed to be wide

railroad men was on patrol duty along
the track and huge bonfires were burn
ing every half mile on the way. The
sun was just streaking the eastern sky
with ribbons of scarlet and pink when
all hands were called this morning to
prepare for the affair at Sioux City.

then the big marvel of building, whose
sole material except its bare skeleton
was the product of the cornfield
